Without End

As the night slowly descends

All thoughts reside in you

Staring into the eyes of love

Losing oneself in its depths

I look upon a beloved smile

So gentle, soothing the soul

In times of need – serenity

As it warms the heart

A tranquil state of being

With one touch of grace

Blessed by the comfort

Of those arms

Bringing me home anew

My vision once dreamed

In a crossing of paths

Never thought to be found

As minds-eye, correspond

I love and will forever love

The soul’s counterpart

A completion of the spirit

Serendipity – without end

Betwixt a dream – revelation

Written in the stars above

Beckoning unto the other

Through the nights calling

She Lives in Me

Decay

Overwhelming emotions take hold

These never-ending days – nights

Suffocating the core of existence

Trapped by the hands of insanity

Silenced tears befall the soul

Gazing into the imagery of decay

Beyond the power to control

Following the path of empathy

Drained be all the serenity within

Numb, a hallow shell one becomes

Finding the strength here – there

Even as the fates, conspire endlessly

The ultimate challenge unto oneself

Grasping onto hope of better days

Captured in the arms of the beloved

Stripping away all the sorrow within

Now deeply rooted inside the heart

As the infernal merry-go-round

Spins and spins, spiraling down

Upon trial and tribulations of life

At the hands of mercy – forgiveness

The mother now becomes the child

Robotic movements – a mere puppet

Ruled by the twisted call of destiny

Patience, the key to endurance

Even in the retreat of silence

Be there no provisos to define

The horror engraved in mind

Angelic Tears - Collaboration with Starr Poetress

 “As angels may have fallen

Crippled be their wings

Yet, they rise to a calling

As the heart and soul sings”

One may often find a riddle

As the pen presses unto page

Spewing forth within passion

As words, commence to pour

Bestowing upon all imagery

From the depths of the soul

Through a creative stance

A tell-a-tale fashion in view

After falling so many times,
Angels no longer walk the earth,
As they spiral further down,
They are not one of a kind,

The ones they always loved,
The ones they always protected,
Now finding them lost amidst the garden,
Shot be their hearts, in the hunting of the dove,

Their passion became anger,
Their anger became passionate,
They bleed their ink on processed wood,
Yet, it only seeped through as no one heard,

Showing the imagery of love they once knew,
Their soul has blackened as the depths of Hell,
So the blessed ink ran dry, lost in despair
The once coveted heart withdrew into air

Through the darkness, they seek the light

In hope to redeem with all their might

All that is lost, in expectation to be found

Before all that once was falls to the ground

“Hear as they sing such sorrowful melodies

As tears, commence to fall ceaselessly

Marred are now their souls to have fallen

Succumbing to the grace of loves calling”
